Measure the length of 520mm on the wall.
With a pencil mark the two entry points where you are going to install the dry wall
anchors and puncture the points with a nail so it is easier for the anchor to be screwed in.
With a #2 Phillips screw driver press the anchor tip slightly into the point marked
previously on the drywall. Applying pressure, turn the screw driver until the anchor is
flush with the drywall. Do this for both drywall anchors.
Insert the screw into the anchor and use the screw driver to tighten it into the anchor.

that the anchor is secure. Please continue tightening until the screw has about 1/8th of
an inch left.
